Our rock climbing
programs are designed to help you learn all aspects of the sport,
whether you're an absolute
beginner or want to learn more advanced techniques or explore longer,
more difficult climbs. Climbing is more about balance and technique than
pure strength; as long as you're in reasonably good condition, you can
learn to enjoy rock climbing. Our #1 goal is that you have fun and learn
to climb as safely as possible.
Introduction to Rock
Climbing
If you've never climbed
before or have only climbed in a gym, let us get you started on the
right foot. You'll learn about all aspects of traditional climbing
including movement on rock, belaying, rappelling, equipment, and knots.
We'll focus on short, top-roped climbs on the first day and climb a
multi-pitch route on the second day.
Intermediate
Multi-Pitch Climbing
If you have some
experience top-roping, and want to take the next step, or have some
experience on multi-pitch routes and want to brush up your skills, we
can tailor this course to suit your needs. We'll focus on refining your
climbing technique, learning about anchors and belaying on multi-pitch
routes, and moving efficiently on longer climbs.
Climbing Anchors
Whether you're a
beginning leader or want to learn more options for setting up your own
top-ropes, spending a day focussing on anchors will give you a lot more
confidence. We'll look at all different types of protection, and
different ways of combining them into strong, effective anchors.
Learn to
Lead
Lead climbing is a lot more than just climbing above your gear. We
can help you make the transition faster and easier. We'll cover
protection placement, protecting the pitch, anchor building, and
belaying from the top. You'll apply these skills with a mock-lead
or, if you're ready, a real lead.
Classic Alpine
Routes
Rock climbing high on a
mountain is an experience like no other. The focus of these climbs is on
enjoying fun climbing and great scenery, and on moving efficiently with
a minimum of equipment. Possibilities include Mt. Washginton, Cannon
Mountain, and Mt. Katahdin.
Custom Climbing
Programs
All of our courses are
custom-tailored to meet your needs. We can also design a course or pick
a climb to suit your interests and ability. Give us a call to discuss
options.
Discover Rock Climbing
If you aren’t ready to commit to multi pitch climbs, but would like to try
rock climbing, this is the course for you. We’ll teach you about the
equipment and rope systems used for toproping and rappelling, and spend the
rest of the day climbing top-roped climbs. 1 day.
Group Toprope Days
These are great for large groups such as clubs who want to learn the basics
and try the exciting sport of rock climbing. Let us know the size of your
group and we can custom-design a program for you. Contact us for special group
rates.
